1 . A fish handling pliers comprising:
 a first lever and a second lever including a middle portion pivotally coupled together with a pivot axle, and each including a jaw member at one end thereof, and each including a handle member at the other end thereof,   said first lever including a protrusion extended from said middle portion of said first lever, and said protrusion including a lock notch formed in said protrusion, and said second lever including a channel formed in said middle portion of said second lever,   a latch device engaged through said channel of said second lever and pivotally coupled to said second lever with a pivot shaft for allowing said latch device to be pivoted relative to said second lever, and said latch device including a knob provided on top thereof, and including a catch provided thereon for engaging with said lock notch of said second lever and for latching said first and said second levers together, and   a spring biasing means for biasing said latch device to pivot relative to said second lever.   
   
   
       2 . The fish handling pliers as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first lever includes at least one second lock notch formed in said protrusion for selectively engaging with said catch of said latch device. 
   
   
       3 . The fish handling pliers as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said second lever includes a cavity formed therein, and said spring biasing means includes a spring member engaged in said cavity of said second lever and engaged with said knob of said latch device for forcing said catch of said latch device to engage with said lock notch of said protrusion of said first lever. 
   
   
       4 . The fish handling pliers as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said second lever includes a cavity formed therein, and said spring biasing means includes a spring member engaged in said cavity of said second lever and engaged with said knob of said latch device for disengaging said catch of said latch device from said protrusion of said first lever.
